Bokbacillen

The last one of the backlog of new filks was the last finished, but it had been on the backburner for awhile. My friend and long-time Finnish fan Marianna Leikomaa wrote on Facebook that she had gone out to buy clothes, but returned home with two books instead.

Such a truly fannish thing has to be filked, and I quickly got a thematic fit in Jazzbacillen. It was originally written as the jazz tune The Preacher. Peter Himmelstrand wrote a set of lyrics about a girl being infected by jazz that were recorded by Siw Malmkvist and became a standard of Swedish pop music.
